Roof Cleaning for Broussard Homes

Broussard is about 7 miles southeast of Lafayette. Valsin Broussard founded the town in 1884, and Main Street, once part of the Old Spanish Trail, still has Victorian homes. The oldest remaining house in town, the Valsin Broussard House on West Main Street, dates to about 1876. Newer neighborhoods have grown around it, and the mayor says the population has nearly doubled since 2010.

That mix means very different roofs in one town. Some are steep and decades old. Others are a few years old. This page explains how we handle both, and how to tell if yours needs cleaning.

Old Town Homes and Newer Subdivisions

Dark streaks on asphalt shingles are usually Gloeocapsa magma algae. ARMA says algae are easiest to see on light colored roofs and are often mistaken for soot, dirt, moss, or tree droppings. Roofs near big trees and on shaded slopes stay damp longer, so they grow it first.

Older homes

Older homes may have older shingles, metal, or mixed repairs from over the years. We look at the whole roof before we pick a method. If a roof is too worn or made of a material we do not clean, we say so.

Newer subdivisions

Newer neighborhoods have grown around Main Street, and some roofs there are only a few years old. This page explains how we handle both, and how to tell if yours needs cleaning.

Steep and Complex Roofs

Steep pitches and many gables

Victorian style homes often have steep pitches, many gables, and tight valleys. These roofs take more time and more care, and they can cost more to clean. We tell you why before we start.

Valleys and debris

Valleys also catch leaves, which hold water against shingles. We clear loose debris as part of the job. Moss and lichen, if present, can hold moisture and lift shingle edges, so we check for them up close.

After Storms and Repairs

Hurricane Delta in October 2020 battered homes in Lafayette Parish and nearby parishes. Older roofs often carry patches and mismatched shingles from repairs. Cleaning does not fix storm damage. If shingles are missing or a limb hit your roof, call a roofer first. We clean the finished roof.

Documenting an Older Roof

Older roofs carry history, such as patches, mismatched shingles, and new flashing. Take dated photos of valleys, ridges, flashing, and every repaired area. Write down what was fixed and when.

If an insurer questions your roof, ask which images it used and when they were taken, as NerdWallet advises. A cleaning is not an inspection or a repair, and we cannot promise any insurer’s decision. We note anything we spot and add it to your photo report.

Match the Method to the Roof

Simple shingle roof

A standard soft wash

Steep roof with many gables

More time, more planning, and fall gear. Price reflects it, and we explain why before we start.

Metal or tin roof

A gentler mix and a careful rinse around seams.

Worn, very old, or delicate material

A roofer or specialist, not a wash.

After cleaning

Trim limbs near the roof, and ask about zinc or copper strips near the ridge.
